The Capital Capitol's Engaging Engagement

in #photofeed7 years ago

Last Winter, I had a client that used to work in the Ohio Statehouse, in Downtown Columbus. He got a photo pass for the evening, so we had about an hour to roam the halls after working hours, and to take some shots wherever we wanted to (within reason, obviously). A lot of the inside was awesome, but the walls were mostly flavored an old dull yellow, which isn't my favorite to shoot in. We kept exploring, and came across these stairs that I instantly fell in love with. Maybe it's because I used to play with marbles all the time, but I love marble(s). I told them they needed to stop, and we needed to figure out a way to use this to our advantage. I took quite a few different shots, but finally ended with this one. I had a flash above them on the right side, and then a flash on my camera as well. This by far was my favorite shot of the night, and I think it was one of their favorites as well.

The dude was a gentleman as well, so I had him do his classy "kiss-of-the-hand" and had to get a shadow shot as well.

There is a kind of timelessness to this you don't see very often. Very cool.

Thank you.

I love the atmosphere, beautiful pictures!

I can see why it was your favourite of the night! Nice one!

Why? Did you see the other ones? Were they bad? Man.. I've only tried to be nice to you!

Oh no! Bad jokes and now bad compliments

Hey dude... in your duties as photofeed guy, have you come across any super amazing fitness photos that I might be able to use for a new Steem project? Photog will get credited of course...

Very nice work dude! Just goes to show how much it's worth looking around a bit more to find the best location!

Yeah, very true. You never know what you're getting into when going to a new spot. Gotta make sure you're flexible, that's for sure haha

Excellent work! I like marble too, especially marble like that! Reminds me of the capitol building in Utah - I guess there's something about capitols and marble. :D

Thanks dewd! I've only been in Utah when I was 8, with my disposable camera. You should see the shots I took of that building when I was there then.

I can only imagine how surreal those must be!

cool post, I really like it
